Apple Pie, American as James Dean’s T-Shirt

Apple pie is an American staple…just like the plain T shirt. Who would want to live without either? Certainly not I. We can help you out in the T shirt department, but you are going to have to make this apple pie yourself.

Ingredients:

• 1 store bought pie crust for a 9 inch double crust pie

• ½ cup unsalted butter

• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• ½ cup white sugar

• ½ cup packed brown sugar

• ¼ cup water

• 8 Granny Smith apples – peeled, cored and sliced

Directions:

Melt butter in a sauce pan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add white sugar, brown sugar and water; bring to a boil. Reduce temperature, and simmer 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, place the bottom crust in your pan. Fill with apples, mounded slightly. Cover with a lattice work crust. Gently pour the sugar and butter liquid over the crust. Pour slowly so that it does not run off.
